With this trade the Nuggets are now down to 10 players. Assuming that they plan to sign Coby Karl, they still will need to sign two more players. Does this mean that they are exploring a S & T of Kleiza for a C/PF or a third PG? A couple of moves like this could put them in a stronger position within the WC.

Wait... Denver sent a 1st round pick and Hunter for a conditional 2nd round pick?

Hunter was worth so little that they had to send a 1st to get a conditional 2nd?

The 1st round pick is in the mid 20's and the 2nd round pick is in the early 30's. The skill level is pretty much the same, but the nuggets doesn't have to give a guaranteed contract cuz only 1st rounders get that.. It saves us money next season aswell..
